Our Verdict

Sony HT-G700

The Samsung HW-Q800A is a better soundbar than the Sony HT-G700. The Samsung is better built and comes with more sound customization features including bass and treble adjustments as well as a graphic EQ. It can reproduce a more extended low-bass, and it also has a better soundstage performance. It even supports more wireless playback options and offers built-in Alexa voice assistant support, unlike the Sony.
